Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Miro for project planning. Having a way to organize thoughts, charts, etc. makes it very easy to collaborate in teams. We have also tried using Miro for schedules - to get an overview of the year. We have also used Miro to make decision trees in easy programming.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Many good templates
Easy to find instructions
Easy to use

Cons

Support for other languages
Having team structures without sharing every board with the whole team as default

Return on Investment

Easier project planning
Faster implementation of ideas

Implementation Rating

Implementing Miro to my business was very easy. Miro is easy to use, with many support articles easy to access inside the application, so all my co-workers started using Miro on their own. I also got several tips when opening Miro the first time on how to implement it in a good way.

Ease of Integration

We have not fully integrated Miro into other applications, but it seems very easy to do that.

Collaboration

Everyone in our team works remotely for now and we will always have co-workers working from other countries. With Miro, we do not even have to share screens when having video meetings, everything is updated instantly and we can even see where our teammates' cursors are placed.

Alternatives Considered

We have tried Padlet and Microsoft Whiteboard but definitely prefer Miro. Padlet worked quite well, but the design and functions are better in Miro, as well as all the easily accessible templates. Microsoft Whiteboard was not so good, e.g. hard to link elements in flowcharts with lines.

Other Software Used

Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Lucidchart

Likelihood to Recommend

Miro is very well suited for project planning and making mind maps. It's generally an easy way to structure large amounts of information. Miro is less appropriate for collaborating about plain text documents or datasheets. The easy way to visualize information is the most important part of Miro.
